One of the best parts of constantly being on the web, is finding and playing the oddest games I can get my hands on.
In honor of this summer's funniest, hardest, and frustratingest (yes, I made that word up) internet games to hit our our monitor screens, I submit these five gems in no particular order, all found and shared by our Technical Group Director, Mr. Jason Wurtzel:
Enjoy!
1) I Don't Even Know, Created by Peter Polack
This is one childishly illustrated little click through of a game. It's not so much a game as it is a goofy interactive story, broken down into silly missions which are explained in poor grammar and spelling.
2) Coign of Vantage, Created by Bobblebrook
I can offer no explanation for this game's rewarding and addictive qualities. You just have to try it, especially if you are feeling visually inclined. Instructions are on the site.
3) Sunny Day Sky, created by Orisinal
This game is simple, well-designed and highly effective in the category
of Mid-afternoon Happiness Induction. I love this game because it
involves very little hand-eye coordination (all you have to do it click
your mouse) to play, and by play I mean pretend you are a little bear
who is using his umbrella to float over cars on an ocean parkway.
4) Rose & Camellia, created by Nigoro
This mousing-only game features two women in a slapping fight. It takes a while to load, has an long intro in Japanese script (that you can skip), but it's pretty easy. Jay is Games translates the story behind the game as this:
Reiko has married into a noble family, but shortly afterwards her husband Siyunsuke dies. The women of the house do not respect Reiko, and she must beat them all in successive slap fights.
If this sounds like something you'll enjoy remember these instructions, as they are not on the site (in English anyway): quickly click on the box that appears in the right hand corner to attack and use your mouse to drag Rose's hand across Camellia's face. Sounds easy, right?
5) Polcarstva, game created by artist Denis Stepkin and the U Studio of Russia, soundtrack created by Sigur Ros
This point-and-click game is more of an interactive art project than it is a game. The characters seem to have no real mission, but to explore a chaotic yet minimal landscape. It takes a while to navigate, but the beautiful illustration and ethereal music make the time spent worthwhile. Sigur Ros made the soundtrack.
In Russian Polcarstva means both Half a Kingdom, and [There is No] Half a Kingdom. As this game is a bit frustrating, but also quite beautiful, this name seems so appropriate, like Dostoevsky himself could have come up with it.
Recently Renegade Marketing Group, LLC shortened our name to just plain Renegade. In the wake of this change, we have felt great relief over making our name shorter. Why? Less weight, less wordage, and a shorter URL.
